Beerpal was arrested on June 1 after he allegedly murdered his wife, Phoolwati (32), by strangling her with a black scarf.

“A PCR call was received on Sunday evening at the Bawana police station, reporting that a woman had been killed by her husband and was lying dead inside the bathroom of their house. The caller said there were no visible injuries on the body,” a senior police officer said. The police soon reached the house and entered the first-floor room of the house, where they found the woman lying unresponsive with her head inside the bathroom and her feet extending outside. Beerpal confessed that the motive behind the murder was Phoolwati’s alleged extramarital relationship with his younger brother Amit.
